Hangovers largely result from being dehydrated + your liver being a little overworked (it recovers unless you're bad off). Anybody who knows their stuff about hydration knows about osmolality. In short your body will hold onto really salty things and let go of really sugary stuff. Perfect blend is something like Powerade with a touch more salt (Gatorade is too sugary; maybe it wasn't back when they developed it but it's mainly a consumer beverage now). So mixing stuff with gatorade or soda will get you more dehydrated at least. Not sure if it will cause any alcohol to be absorbed faster or not.
